Good luck figuring out the MCS lock.............
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

The problem that it was masterkeyed so heavily it shouldn't even count.


Quite true.

Also the reason the company i purchased the protec from had to redo parts of their MK system.

I wouldn't really count it as picking until i can pick the lock when it is less masterkeyed.

Vector40,

I have read that book, and I hate to tell you this, but the bit about locks is just made up!

I'm fairly sure the information about 's descendents is historically accurate, though...

That's hilarious! You're not allowed to type include the name of the Christian Messiah in your posts!

You know, that name just doesn't come up in a respectable way on a lockpicking forum all that often. Go figure. :)

If it becomes common for people to be using the names of Budda, Ala, Vishnu, or any other deity in a way that could be offensive to those of a particular faith, rest assured they'll be added to the word censor as well. 8)

We try to be respectful of everybody here.

Skold, do you have plans a foot to rekey the protec? surley its a much cheaper option to get the spares than to buy a new lock?

Hey, who's read the Da Vinci Code? Anyone recognize the "laser-pocked" triangular safe deposit key? Didn't seem like anything I've ever heard of.


I don't think there's a bypass tool available for the Protec at the moment, unless Falle's Abloy tool also works with the Protec.

It's probable that Dan Brown based the triangular key on the square key of the XYLOK; I don't know of any other design that's remotely similar. (beyond the various dimple exotics, of course.)

obsessed with abloy

Postby abloy » 31 Dec 2005 0:56

I read a lot of chatter and heard alot of rumors but there is just absolutely no way to pick any of the Abloy series like classic, profile, disklock, disklock pro, exec, protec. The discs are just too many like a fixed 10 digit combination lock. All the discs rotate with practically no friction no such thing as tension.
